The Daily Lives of The Owl Familia:
The Scarris Wheel incident

Summary: One would think that someone would know better than to mess with the most powerful witch family on the Boiling Isles. Well, this would be a lesson a certain witch would soon learn.

Timeline: During the time Amity was being comforted by her family at the amusement park

"Dear, please try to hold back," Harvey pleaded with his husband. "We can't afford another mark on our insurance."

But the usual gentle father wasn't paying his husband much attention; Gilbert was too busy crackling his knuckles as his eyes started to surge with magic. With a heavy sigh, Harvey picked up Willow and covered her eyes.

"Inquiring minds would like to know what's about to happen?" Perry asked as he leaned in close.

"Let's just say I don't like to get in my husband's way when he likes this," Harvey replied with a sigh and looked at Gus. "And you might want to cover your boy's eyes. What Gilbert is about to do isn't something children of any age should see."

Perry did as he was told and picked up his boy. He covered Gus's eyes and watched as Gilbert strolled up to the plant witch.

"What do you want?" Shin asked rudely.

Gilbert just looked the witch in the eyes and the look was starting to make Shin nervous. There was something in the eyes of the construction witch that wasn't sitting right with him.

"L-Look, if you have something to say, say IT!" Shin screeched when stones suddenly snapped around his ankles.

A cold grin spread across the fair-skinned witch as he made another spell circle and two small rocks shot up from the ground and into his hands. Shin could figure out where this was handing and tried to make a spell to get him out of this. Gilbert wouldn't allow this and threw the rock at his hands. The masses of earth quickly covered the plant's witch's hands and stopped him from making any more spells.

"Now," Gilbert said softly, eyes glowing, "I think you need to think about your actions."

Perry suddenly cringed when he saw what Gilbert did next to the plant witch.

"I have never seen a male use a pebble like that before," Perry commented wide-eyed.

"Not the face. Not the FACE! NOT THE FAAACCCCCE!"

Perry winced and wheezed at the sound of stone hitting flesh, and he pressed his hand against his son's eyes just a bit tighter.

"MOMMY, I'M SORRY!" Shin screamed bloody murder.

One final, bonk sound filled the air, and Shin screamed one last time. Perry couldn't help but gawk as Gilbert walked up, dusting off his hands.

"I feel better," the male witch said with a satisfied smile on his face.

Perry couldn't help but continue to gawk as he turned his attention to the poor witch in front of him. Surprisingly, Shin wasn't all that worse for wear. He had a lot of lumps on his head and his clothing had many tears in it, but nothing looked too serious.

"If that him holding back, I hate to see it when he cut loose," Perry muttered under his breath as he set Gus down.

Harvey sighed and also put Willow down. The abomination witch walked up to the dazed and confused witch with Gus and Willow following behind him. He took out a pen and paper and held it out to the witch.

"I know it's not the best time, but can I get your name and address?" Harvey asked in a surprisingly gentle tone. "It's for insurance reasons."

Shin gave a punch-drunken nod and clumsily took the pen. It took a few tries, but the man wrote down his information. Harvey frowned as he looked at the name.

"...Shin Blabberstone. Huh, why does that name sound familiar?" Harvey wondered to himself.

He was about to return to his husband when he saw that Gus and Willow were still in front of Shin. Curious, Harvey watched as the two "knocked-down" witches gave the older witch arguably cute glares.

"No pick on Am-Am!" Willow screamed cutely.

No be meanie to Am-am!" Gus added.

Willow and Gus then gave Shin a "Clawthorne Shine buster" to each shin. Harvey cocked an eyebrow when the plant witch didn't even flinch. Then again, no one was in the right frame of mind when they got on the receiving end of Gilbert's anger.

If someone can guess where the name Blabberstone comes from, you win a cookie. And-
Steve (Breaks through the Forth Wall): Steve thought we had an agreement; you show the folk my time with the Exploding Ball Pit, and Steve doesn't bonk you on the head.
Me (looking very disturbed): I think I may need to take that break soon.
